(A), original culture; (B), 7-day culture. 4 1 2 Supplementary Fig.2Expression of gfp gene under the control of phaCAB promoter in E. coli JM109 and T2 3 4 5 6 7 E. coli JM109 and T2strains harboringpBHR68-gfp were cultivated in mineral saltsmedium at 37 °C for 48 h,respectively. Value 100 corresponds to equal gene expression relativeto JM109 and values above 100 correspond to foldincrease. Data were the means of triplicate experiments. 8 9 5
